(Feb. 20, 2018) The Board of Selectmen presented to the public a revised letter of opposition to a proposed affordable-housing development of South Shore Road last Wednesday afternoon, a week after hearing from neighbors in the area that the original letter to the state was not strong enough.

The language of the revised letter was being finalized and was scheduled to be voted on at last night’s board meeting, too late for this edition of The Inquirer and Mirror.

The Selectmen were in agreement with the language of the letter, but held off on voting until the final revisions were made.

At last week’s meeting the board voted 5-0 to “diametrically oppose” the 156-unit 40B development proposed for 13 acres off South Shore Road by island developers Josh Posner and Jamie Feeley, but had to endure more than 30 minutes of complaints from neighbors that their opposition was not strong enough.
